Boat sheet, essential lines and ropes on board
Along with the mooring line, the sheet is one of the most popular lines on board. From the simplest sailboat to the Ultime class trimarans, the sheet is one of the most essential ropes on board. A sheet is used to adjust the tension in the sail. That's why, on a sailboat, the sheet is just as indispensable as the halyard, another successful rope used to hoist the sail along the mast. Although their uses differ, halyards and sheets are nonetheless complementary.
There are 3 main types of sheet on deck: the spinnaker sheet, the jib sheet and the mainsheet. Keep these in mind as you embark on the purchase of a sailing boat, and make sure you don't miss a single line in your rig.
Settings, materials and performance
Previously woven from hemp, today's ropes are all (or almost all) made from ultra-strong polyester, nylon or Dyneema polyethylene fibers. This is particularly true of boat sheets.
Synthetic materials provide extra comfort and a better grip in all common maneuvers. Sheeting is a boat rope appreciated for its resistance to abrasion and its elongation, minimizing any accidental breakage. It is also renowned for enabling precise sail trimming (spinnaker, mainsail, genoa and jib) and optimizing your yacht's performance at sea.
Other advantages of contemporary rope materials: you can play around with diameter, color, spliceability, sheath choice... And with their use, too, as with a pre-stretched polyester sheet that offers excellent winch holding, for example. In this case, its low elongation makes it ideal for both coastal and offshore sailing.
